NICK BRADY, Goalkeeper
Brady was a four-time letterwinner at Atlantic Coast High School where he played for the Stingrays under head coach Blake Cline. He ended his career with over 400 saves, including 123 as a senior, and a 0.84 goals against average. He was a three-time All-Gateway Conference selection, earning first-team honors as both a junior and senior and was also a four-time all-state selection. During his senior campaign, the Stingrays advanced all the way to the State Championship Final 4 for the first time in school history, finishing the season with a 25-2 record while claiming the Gateway Conference, District and Region crowns along the way. He holds the Florida state record for penalty kicks saved as his opponents only converted 18 of the 46 attempts against him.
Brady played his club ball for Jacksonville FC U-18 Elite and head coach Joey Barrett. He helped lead the squad to the 2013-14 and 2014-15 CASL Showcase titles as well as the 2013-14 and 2014-15 Disney Showcase Qualifier crowns.
Assistant Coach del Forn on Brady
"Nick is our second goalkeeper to come out of Jacksonville FC and he will help bolster our goalkeeper union. He has great size and reactions and he is a good shot stopper. He commands his box very well and is a good leader. He will be a great addition to the team both on and off the field."
FILIP DAVIDOVSKI, Midfielder
Davidovski will join the Eagles this fall after a successful stint playing soccer for Kjoebenhavns Boldklub in his home country of Denmark. In Copenhagen, he attended N. Zahles Gymnasium and is currently finishing up medical school there. He helped his club team claim the Danish Championship as well as the Danish Cup Tournament and he has experience playing with both the Macedonia Youth National Team as well as the Danish Youth National Team.
Assistant Coach del Forn on Davidovski
"Filip brings great experience to our team having played on some big stages. He is a speedy winger who will further deepen our strength in wide positions. He can get around the edge as well as cut inside and bring a lot of different looks to our opponents."
The Eagles will kick off the 2016 season with a home exhibition match against SCAD on Tuesday, August 16 before going on the road for five straight games, including the first four of the regular-season. Georgia Southern will open its home slate on Friday, September 9 against James Madison at 7 p.m.
